Adopt Iris a Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White) German Shepherd Dog /

Location:

Bothell, WA

Description:

Animal Profile: Iris is an estimated 1.5-year-old, 65 lb spayed female German Shepherd Rottweiler mix who was surrendered to her trainer by a family who felt ill-equipped to meet her needs and is now available for adoption. Iris currently lives with a pack of dogs and is friendly and playful with all, and is generally not reactive meeting new dogs. She is neutral meeting people and incredibly intelligent with good work ethic. She could make a great sport dog but also has a good chill setting. She is well trained having lived with a professional trainer for over a month now. She is crate trained, leashed trained and has basic obedience training. She would benefit from a secure fenced yard and an active dog savvy home, given her breed. She will be a balanced, loyal and loving companion to a family who can provide leadership, mental/physical stimulation and affection. Trainer Assessment: Very sweet and affectionate Good with dogs and cats but has literally stepped on some toes (my smaller dogs don't love her due to her size and puppy clumsiness) Slightly pushy with other dogs but not any more than most dogs her age No aggression with dog savvy cat Would make a great sport dog (not for protection work but potentially Schutzhund) -- agility, fly ball, scent work, dock diving Not so driven that she needs a sport home Would enjoy a home with another balanced large dog she can continue to learn from and play with Mild natured but confident Tail could be used as a wheat scythe (RIP favorite coffee mug) Not overly vocal but very loud when she does bark -- will bark intermittently during play sessions Stranger danger barks in reasonable situations (have not corrected this) Engaged, handler aware, stable, steady, good off switch Loves ball, toys, tugs, flirt pole Lures like a dream Happy to train Good in the car and crate Responds to verbal commands/corrections Familiar with e-collar but will respond to tone for correction Adopter Profile: Large breed experience required Secure fenced yard preferred Balanced dogs OK Dog savvy cats considered Foster Updates: Stay tuned for details. Adoption Info: Iris's adoption fee is $400, which includes spay, core vaccinations per AVMA standards, and microchip with lifetime registration. Your adoption fee may be tax deductible as DGS is a 501c3 organization. Animal History: Iris was surrendered to Lugaru K9 Training by a family who could not meet her working breed needs in April 2023; she is currently being fostered in Port Angeles and available for adoption in the greater Seattle area.
